If batsmen "retire hurt" rather than "retire out" they get a nice little FC average boosting * next to their name. Would be 99.9% sure Katich and North will be right for the first test.

He has now.
Bloody hell it's frustrating to be following this with only a scorecard that updates every 10 minutes.

They weren't missing anyone. You set out a criteria that India would be a much weakened team with two of Raju/Chauhan/Bahutule/Joshi/Chopra etc.. and I showed it's not necessarily the case if the team steps up and performs. The 2001 series against Australia was another example. Hence, a couple of absences through injury is not an excuse and if you bring it up to discredit another side's victory, you will be rightly called out on it.
Let's end it here.

Indeed. That's why I want to be watching to see how they're bowling in actuality.

This is a pretty strong Board President XI TBF. I'd be getting pretty excited if India performed like this in a warmup on a tour to Australia against an equivalent side. Not that our braindead Board would have the good sense to schedule one though, and we'd inevitably get caught cold in the first Test.

Pujara, Rahane, Tiwary, Mukund - Are they really as good as there first class records suggest? When you see someone like Virat Kohli who averages mid 50's in FC cricket enter international cricket and do fairly well one wonders if these players are just as good if not better then him. I've seen a little bit of Pujara in 20/20 cricket and from what I've seen he looks like a talent, but I really can't make much of a judgement of just that.

All the pacers got wickets, Hilf and George got two each. 6/143 in reply to 505, North smashed (and I mean smashed) 124 retired.

He's still in SA isn't he? He isn't playing either way.
